ROMs do not last forever — specialized hardware used on some cartridges may last even less time. There is an active community of people interested in maintaining data about dumped ROMs to ensure games are not lost forever. However, some releases are rare. making it hard to track down and dump the ROM (''[[Sansan]]'' was this way for a long time); in some cases, this happens to particular revisions of games. Not all dumps are good dumps — overdumping (when more is dumped than the EEPROM actually has and there is wraparound — which could probably have other errors) or bad dumping (when something goes wrong and the data is not bit perfect) can also happen. Finally, homebrew developers are actively looking out to ensure piracy of their games do not happen, and consequently those games also remain undumped, as they have fallen for the completely baseless idea that any proof that a game is dumpable will always, immediately lead to mass piracy that knocks all game sales down to absolute 0; much to everyone's extreme misfortune, they will both actively target ROM dump groups and preservation groups and use hardware mechanisms that are known to guarantee low data retention (for instance, CPLDs that are only known to last ~10 years). | ROMs do not last forever — specialized hardware used on some cartridges may last even less time.

Latest revision as of 03:16, 26 August 2023
- Note: This list is vastly incomplete/imperfect. While much of the information is out there, it hasn't been collected. If you see something wrong or missing, please feel free to add it here, though if it isn't easily confirmable, please provide some sort of proof. Thanks.
ROMs do not last forever — specialized hardware used on some cartridges may last even less time. There is an active community of people interested in maintaining data about dumped ROMs to ensure games are not lost forever. However, some releases are rare. making it hard to track down and dump the ROM (Sansan was this way for a long time); in some cases, this happens to particular revisions of games. Not all dumps are good dumps — overdumping (when more is dumped than the EEPROM actually has and there is wraparound — which could probably have other errors) or bad dumping (when something goes wrong and the data is not bit perfect) can also happen. Finally, homebrew developers are actively looking out to ensure piracy of their games do not happen, and consequently those games also remain undumped, as they have fallen for the completely baseless idea that any proof that a game is dumpable will always, immediately lead to mass piracy that knocks all game sales down to absolute 0; much to everyone's extreme misfortune, they will both actively target ROM dump groups and preservation groups and use hardware mechanisms that are known to guarantee low data retention (for instance, CPLDs that are only known to last ~10 years).

- Note: there are more undumped NAOMI games than dumped, so those will not be listed here for the time being. They will be added eventually. Incorrectly dumped NAOMI games will be listed here.
Sega System 16
Board | Game | Status | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Pre-System 16 arcade hardware | Dump Matsumoto | "317-0011a.mcu" (protection MCU) undumped | not sure which chip this is; this filename is from MAME source |
System 16B | Charon | Undumped |
Other Boards
Board | Game | Status | Description |
---|---|---|---|

Galaxian hardware | Jump Bug | Sega version undumped (a bootleg of it has been dumped) | |
Sega G80 Raster | 005 | "6331.sound-u8" ("missing sound PROM!") bad dumped | see MAME source |
Pig Newton version A | "cpu.u25" (loaded to beginning of CPU address space; presumably first 2KB of main CPU code) bad dumped; "1904a.bg" and "1905a.bg" (first set of graphics ROMs) bad dumped; "1906a.bg", "1907a.bg", and "1908a.bg" (second set of graphics ROMs) undumped | MAME source says at the moment the set just copies the second set of background ROMs from the version C set | |

- Note: unlicensed games are not listed here because there are too many to keep track of. They will be re-added once we (probably I, andlabs) can wade through it all one day when I'm not distracted by thing #436256752573.
- Note the contents of this list are based on the no-intro ROM set. When removing or adding an entry from this list due to dump, you may be asked where it has been found. Please leave a note and proof in the edit summary. Furthermore, this list is vastly incomplete, as we still do not have a clear idea as to the nature of Korean, mainland Asian, and Brazilian releases (and the use of (World) by ROM sets makes this more confusing); the unlicensed games on this list might also only represent a small portion of the total.
Game | Status | Description |
---|---|---|
Sega Channel program | US dumped, all other regions undumped | |
XBAND program, all regions | Undumped | |
2 in 1: Psychic Pinball and Micro Machines | Undumped | |

Andre Agassi Tennis | US/EU dumped, Brazil undumped | |
ATP Tour | US/EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
Australian Rugby League | EU dumped, Australia undumped | |

Bloodshot | EU dumped, Germany (Battle Frenzy) and Australia undumped | |
Bubba'n'Stix | US/EU dumped, Australia undumped | |

Cannon Fodder | EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
Captain Planet and the Planeteers | US/EU dumped, Japan and Australia undumped | The JP version might not actually exist — it isn't in the official release list, and there's no info on a possible unlicensed release. The Australian version does exist. |
Clay Fighter | US/EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
Columns Sega Game Toshokan version | Undumped, but probably same from retail | All Game Toshokan ROMs have the same base code from the Game Toshokan cartridge itself, however Columns also received a retail release in Japan. If every ROM version of Columns in the various sources we got other Game Toshokan ROMs from are found to be identical to the retail one but the real Game Toshokan one is different... |

The Death and Return of Superman | US dumped, EU undumped | |

Dragon Ball Z: Buyuu Retsuden | Japan/France dumped, Portugal undumped | Though the carts were imported it's still best to dump them I guess? What harm could it do =P |
Dune II: The Battle for Arrakis | US/EU dumped, Australia undumped | |

FIFA International Soccer | US/EU dumped; Japan undumped | |
Flicky | US/EU dumped, Japan undumped | The Japanese release of Flicky was a Game Toshokan exclusive, but every other Game Toshokan game (including Fatal Labyrinth) was dumped, so wtf... |
The Flintstones (Ocean) | Undumped | Sega Channel release, so the final is likely lost. drx is known to have a prototype. |
Fun 'n' Games | EU/US dumped, Australia undumped | |
Galaxy Force II | "Rev B" and some unidentified revision dumped, "Rev 0" and "Rev A" undumped | Revision names from no-intro's undumped list. It is possible the unidentified one is either 0 or A.

Garfield: The Lost Levels | Undumped | Sega Channel exclusive version of Garfield: Caught in the Act with extra level(s) that eventually became part of the PC version. More details here — link from 2004 so this is likely lost. |

International Rugby | EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
International Superstar Soccer | EU "Deluxe" dumped, Brazil regular undumped | |
Jewel Master US/EU | "Rev A" dumped, "Rev 0" undumped | Revision names from no-intro's undumped list. "Rev A" md5sum: 42ec7e0894625345be8021f9d5f5d52f. |
Jim Power: The Arcade Game | Bad dump | Exact issue unknown. This is a prototype of an unreleased game, so a good dump is very unlikely. |
J. League Pro Striker 2 Sample | Undumped | |
Junker's High | Bad dump | Exact issue unknown. This is a prototype of OutRun 2019, but a good dump may still be very unlikely. |
Lemmings | US/EU/JP dumped, Korea undumped | |
Mega Bomberman | US/EU dumped, Korea undumped | |
Mega Games 10/Sega Top Ten/10 Super Jogos | Only 10 Super Jogos dumped | |
Mick & Mack as the Global Gladiators | US/EU dumped, Brazil undumped | |
MLBPA Baseball | US dumped, Australia undumped | |
Mortal Kombat 3 | US/EU dumped, Brazil undumped | |
Nagoya Home Banking | Undumped | |
Bulls versus Blazers and the NBA Playoffs Japan | Dumped — but see description | The list indicates that there is a mismatch between the checksums in collector Xacrow's dump and in Cowering's GoodGen set. The md5sum of the ROM in no-intro's set is 97e07d6d00662e1d688229233ececddd, so this may have been resolved. Investigation needed. |
NHLPA Hockey | Undumped | A version of NHLPA Hockey '93 specifically programmed for compatibility with the HeartBeat Catalyst. |
NFL Pro Football '94 Japan | Undumped | Should not be confused with NFL Football '94 — which is the Japanese name of NFL Football '94 Starring Joe Montana. This is consequently most likely the Japanese version of Madden NFL '94; investigation is needed. |
Ninja Gaiden | Bad dump | ROM header modified. This is a prototype of an unreleased game, so a good dump is very unlikely. |
Order of the Talon | Undumped | Unreleased game for the equally-unreleased Teleplay System modem. May have NES and SNES cartridge counterparts (reportedly with working cross-platform multiplayer), and may also be compatible with the Edge 16.[2] |
Osaka Bank My Line | Undumped | It is believed the Mega Anser software differs from this. |
Osaka Bank My Line Demo | Undumped | |
The Ottifants | EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
Outback Joey | 1.0 dumped, 1.1 undumped | Specifically programmed for compatibility with the HeartBeat Catalyst. When dumped, the game's revision was not commonly known, and it was not marked as being from an original or revised cartridge; while the ROM header's build date indicates it's likely the 1.0 release, its version cannot be currently verified, as there is no guarantee the header was updated when the game was revised. Regardless of which was actually dumped, one version remains undumped. |
Paperboy | US/EU/JP dumped, Korea undumped | |
PGA Tour Golf | 1.1 and 1.2 dumped, 1.0 undumped | Revision numbers from no-intro's undumped list. 1.1 md5sum: b40a7bff341839b9d8d31cc9d37d944b. 1.2 md5sum: 50b00d9ac86fb44aeb9c71882c92da4a. |
Phantasy Star Japanese rerelease | Undumped | No confirmation of being the same ROM as the SMS one or not... |
Phantasy Star II | US/EU/JP/BR dumped, Korea undumped | |
Phantasy Star III | US/EU/JP/BR dumped, Korea undumped | |
Sea of Vengeance | Undumped | Unreleased game for the equally-unreleased Teleplay System modem. Reportedly complete and ready for manufacturing, likely has NES and SNES cartridge counterparts (reportedly with working cross-platform multiplayer), and may also be compatible with the Edge 16.[1] |
Shane Warne Cricket Australia | Dumped — but see description | Should redump from both versions to see if they're identical or not |
Shining Force | US/Japan dumped, EU undumped | |
Side Pocket | Dumped — but see description | The list indicates that there is a mismatch between the checksums in collector Xacrow's dump and in Cowering's GoodGen set for both the US and Japan dumps. The md5sum of the ROMs in no-intro's set are 213899f86e17e95f41498c0b54d702b0 (Japan)/469e1360eb70879b1039a686be9dfc3a (US), so this may have been resolved. Investigation needed. EU is clear. |
Siege & Sorcery | Undumped | Unreleased game for the equally-unreleased Teleplay System modem. May have NES and SNES cartridge counterparts (reportedly with working cross-platform multiplayer), and may also be compatible with the Edge 16.[2] |
The Smurfs | "Rev A" dumped, "Rev 0" undumped | Revision names from no-intro's undumped list. "Rev A" md5sum: 4206c52e6e96b6fa301e890e6a9d3337. |
Sonic 3D Blast | US/EU dumped, Korea undumped | |
The Story of Thor Japan prototype | Bad dump | Exact issue unknown. This is a prototype, so a good dump is very unlikely. |
Street Fighter II Dash Plus Japan | Unknown; most likely undumped | no-intro only lists US, EU, and Asia — but at one point Japan was listed along with Asia as the same ROM... |
Sumisei Home Tanmatsu | Undumped | |
Swamp Thing | Overdumped | No response from owners of this prototype. |
Syndicate | US/EU dumped, Australia undumped | |
Tecmo Cup Japan prototype | Bad dump | Exact issue unknown. This is a prototype, so a good dump is very unlikely. |
Terran Wars | Undumped | Unreleased game for the equally-unreleased Teleplay System modem. Reportedly complete and ready for manufacturing, likely has NES and SNES cartridge counterparts (reportedly with working cross-platform multiplayer), and may also be compatible with the Edge 16.[1] |
TinHead | Both versions should be dumped just to be sure the Ballistic logo isn't in one of them as the present dump says Spectrum HoloByte | |
Tintin in Tibet | Should be redumped from all versions | ROM sets presently use the French name, however the game was distributed using localized names, so this would only serve as verification. |
ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron | US/EU dumped, Korea undumped | no-intro has a JP ROM, but there was no JP release — misnomer? |
Tom and Jerry: Frantic Antics | US dumped, Japan and Korea undumped | |
Triple Score: 3 Games in 1/Mega Games I | Europe (Mega Games I) dumped, US (Triple Score: 3 Games in 1) undumped | |
Valis III Japan | ????? — see description | The no-intro ROM name was changed after the list was made to "Valis III (Japan) (Rev A).md." However, the list says they have 1.1, and are missing 1.0. This might mean 1.1 is Rev A, and 1.0 is another revision. Investigation needed. |
Virtua Fighter 2 | US/EU/Korea dumped, Brazil undumped | |
Virtua Racing | US/EU/JP dumped, Korea undumped | |
Wonder MIDI | Undumped | |
World Cup Soccer/World Championship Soccer | ????? — see description | The no-intro ROM set has an unidentified revision, a "v1.2," and a "Rev B." However, the list says they have "v1.0," "v1.2," and "v1.3," and are missing "v1.1." Much like with Valis III, this requires investigation... |
World Cup USA 94 | US/EU dumped, Korea undumped | |
World Heroes | US dumped, Korea undumped | no-intro has a JP ROM, but there was no JP release — misnomer? |
World of Illusion: Fushigi na Magic Box Japan | ????? — see description | The no-intro ROM set has a final and beta build, however the list says they have "v1.0" and are missing "v1.1." Much like with Valis III, this requires investigation... |
Furthermore, the following are on no-intro's undumped list, but the ROMs they have are marked as for more regions than the list indicates, so it is possible the undumped ROMs were dumped and found to be identical to the already dumped ones, unless there is evidence of difference — this requires some investigation. The list is outdated so this could have been investigated already (outdated entries on their list that can be proven easily from the current datfiles are already omitted from this page).
